Food allergy is a rapidly growing problem worldwide. This book conveys a hopeful message that it is possible to get rid of food allergies with the cooperation of family and doctor. Pioneering research by Stanford University researcher Dr. Kari Nadeau shows that food allergies don't have to be a lifelong burden because the immune system can be retrained. From a mild rash to a blocked airway, food allergies can be prevented, slowed and stopped. The key to this process is a strategy called immunotherapy - the controlled, gradual reintroduction of the allergen to the body.
New York Times bestselling author Sloan Barnett, who is also the mother of two children with food allergies, helps make the method understandable to the average person and makes scientific research accessible to everyone. The authors jointly introduce and describe all aspects of food allergy, also talking about how to find suitable treatment and cope with the constant fear of allergens.
The book has been supplemented with information about Estonia.
